Which media do you prefer to get close to fashion? I really do look in the Internet, and I also read magazines. Another way to get in touch is talking with my friends that work in the sector so I get updated. The websites I always go are Style, Catwalking which is the first to upload all the runway shows and Vogue UK website. The magazines That I like are Another Magazine, Plastique, View of the Times, Hercules and the Italian and Spanish versions of Vanity Fair to entertain myself Sundays at home.

Do you have any hobbies, practice any sport, etc? I got a dog and I love being with it. I also like to read at home and listen to music. I enjoy being with my friends, I think friendship is very important to me.

As you should have read in our about page this blog was part of a research about the style of people working in Milan’s fashion industry. Soon after this project we found jobs, we were interns, assistants, blah blah blah and never found the time to post our findings. We identified three ideal groups, that related to fashion according to the publicity of their line of work: the A-listers (PR people), the Dreamers (mostly editors and journalists) and the Bon-Tons (mostly designers). We made a short video to introduce the groups, I hope you enjoy it!

We also did a photoshoot with photographer Settimio Benedusi and three of our key subjects. Will post it soon!

If you live in Milan and find yourself portrayed in the video please don’t worry it was made with the sole purpose of presenting our findings, and we have no interest in broadcasting it any further than this blog.
